Question 1

smart Layer 2 devices with many ports designed to forward frames from source to destination, accounting to specific MAC addresses

Answer 1

Switches

Question 2

This table includes the following columns: VLAN, MAC address, Dynamic or static, associated physical ports

Answer 2

MAC tables

Question 3

refers to a frame with a source MAC that arrives at a switch and updates the table with the MAC address for the port

Answer 3

Dynamic

Question 4

indicates a manually configured MAC address on a switch

Answer 4

Static

Question 5

A switch using this method buffers the entire frame upon receipt

Answer 5

Store-and-Forward Switching

Question 6

much faster method than store-and-forward

Answer 6

Cut-through Switching

Question 7

This method provides faster switching than the store-and-forward method while also performing partial effort checking to make sure there is no fragmentation on the first 64 bytes of the frame

Answer 7

Fragment-free switching

Question 8

A connection for which the communication is restricted to exchange data in one direction at a time

Answer 8

half-duplex

Question 9

the data can be transmitted in both directions, on a signal carrier, at the same time

Answer 9

Full-duplex

Question 10

This port can transfer traffic at speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps

Answer 10

Switch ports

Question 11

tells connected devices to annouce their capabilities, and then, based on the settings of the interconnected device at the other end, chooses the optimal speed and duplex mode

Answer 11

Auto-negotiation

Question 12

this system is a CLI-based system, and users interface with it using text-based Cisco commands

Answer 12

IOS - Internetwork Operating System
